Napoléon passe pour être le fils d’une famille modeste qui, à force d’efforts, aurait accédé aux plus hautes fonctions. Cette légende digne d’un roman devait être corrigée. Voici la vérité enfin révélée grâce à cette biographie événement, fruit de longues années de recherche dans les archives, consacrée à Charles Bonaparte, père du plus célèbre des empereurs.

Critical Care Nursing: Learning from Practice takes a unique approach to critical care. Based around case scenarios that have the patient as the central focus, each chapter is constructed around an example of a critically ill patient with specific care needs. The chapters then go on to critically explore the knowledge and skills required to deliver expert care. This book looks at a range of critical care scenarios, including: The patient with acute lung injury The patient with fever The patient with an acute kidney injury The patient with long term needs The patient with increased intra-abdominal pressure The Patient following cardiac surgery Each chapter develops knowledge of the related physiology/pathophysiology, appropriate nursing interventions that are research/evidence based, technical skills, data interpretation and critical appraisal skills, enabling the reader to apply fundamental knowledge to more complex patient problems. Critical Care Nursing: Learning from Practice is an essential resource for practitioners faced with complex and challenging patient cases.

Textile-based compression therapy is used in a range of applications, such as for athlete and sport recovery, enhanced proprioception, compression spacesuits, and in the management of chronic diseases. This book provides an overview of compression devices and products, testing methods to measure the properties of materials used in compression devices, and design considerations based on dynamic body measurements. It also includes a model for predicting pressure and details the challenges in applying compression for various applications. Chapters in this book: Discuss the science behind compression therapy Delve into the materials used in compression devices and products and assesses their performance based on their properties and structure Cover theoretical modeling to predict the pressure exerted by compression devices on the human body Consider compression textile design based on dynamic body measurements This book is aimed at professionals and researchers in textile engineering, materials engineering, biotechnology, and the development of textile-based compression devices and products, and at such medical practitioners as phlebologists.
Integrating the history of Paris with the history of consumption, the press, publicity, advertising and spectacle, this book traces the evolution of the urban core districts of consumption and explores elements of consumer culture such as the print media, publishing, retail techniques, tourism, city marketing, fashion, illustrated posters and Montmartre culture in the nineteenth century. Hahn emphasizes the tension between art and industry and between culture and commerce, a dynamic that significantly marked urban commercial modernity that spread new imaginary about consumption. She argues that Parisian consumer culture arose earlier than generally thought, and explores the intense commercialization Paris underwent.
